Worried about a child?

Worried about a child?

If you believe that a child or young person is at IMMEDIATE risk, you should treat this as an emergency and call the academy, or call 999 to report your concerns to the Police.

Our safeguarding personnel (as of September 2015) are as follows:

DSL Designated Safeguarding Lead: Pete Devlin

Deputy Child Protection Coordinator: Maxine McLean / Sharron Duff

Child Looked After Coordinator: Pete Devlin

E-Safety Coordinator: Pete Devlin

Person responsible for children with medical conditions: Sally Mckone

Most children enjoy generally happy childhood experiences within their own family. Unfortunately for some this is not the case. During difficult family times, everyone who knows the child must do the best they can to protect them from future harm.

Spot Abuse

You may be concerned about a child or young person. You may or may not know them, or even their name. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Abuse can take many different forms, such as neglect, sexual abuse, physical abuse and even emotional abuse.

Take Responsibility

Don’t assume that someone else will take responsibility and make that phone call. You could help to save a child’s life. If you are worried, report it.
